So i went to my friends house yesterday and he had a crowntail betta, it was a gorgeous color of red and black and i knew immediatly that i would love to have one. Heres what i was thinking of:
a 10 gallon tank (dont have the heard to stuff it in those small petsore containters ._.) with gravel that is black and has specks of neon colors in it. It will have a hood with fluorescent tube lights and a good stand. I will have a hang-on filter although i dont know what i size i want yet. I will buy a background that is blue on oneside and black on the other so i can alternate which one i want. Uh, i will buy fake plants unless bettas need real plants to live with but i will also have an airstone so oxyenation wont be a problem. The food that i plan to feed my betta is those special kind of small pellet food especially for betters and i will also have a feeding ring so that my better will immediatly where to go if he is hungry after (i hope) a week or so and the food will not float somewhere where he cant see it. Do bettas need heaters? i live in Orlando Florida so it will get hot during the summer although i will put the tank in my room away from direct sunlight. I plan to put plants, not sure if fake or real yet , along the back with a clay pot for hiding and an open space in the middle with maybe driftwood or rock (maybe even decor).
The betta will be the only fish in the 10 gallon so i think it will have a lot of room and his own territory. The type of fish i want to get is a crowntail betta that is blue, kinda like this fish:
I want the tank to be made in a way that will show off the betta's beautiful colors and i heard that darkon gravel and background can usually pull that off. Is this tank setup good? i read somewhere that if you keep one betta in a 10 gallon tank, you dont need to do a fishless cycle because the tank is big enough to adjust betta waste quickly. Can someone clarify this for me, because i will happily do the cycle if needed.
I havent bought anything yet because im still planning and i want the best for my betta
I already want to name it Isaiah after my friend at school XD
Thanks for anyhelp
